there are big milestones and challenges we've taken on this year so far!
...connections with so many cool new people, comfort in the studio, good energy from neighbors, kids making noise in the street, a small world feeling of overlapping and sharing...
i want to savor these moments that feel good. 
being connected charges me up to do the next cool thing...
and the other cool thing after that! 
there's a lot of things fighting for attention.
staying informed feels miserable...but people can't exist in a happy hopeful hole in the ground.
the way this country is moving is disgusting.
switching from brutal morning headlines to a video of a bird bath, interrupted by an ad for AI...
my dad calls me and we try to cope with a joke about the world falling apart but even he seems a lil burnt out about it.
he's my frame of reference for endurance through all of this.
adding a couple classes into the mix this fall.
haven't done any schooling in a while, a lil nervous to share space in my schedule with something big like that. on top of this, on top of that, on top of maybe the other thing i'm probably forgetting?
but i'm also really excited!
there's more i can explore & more i can do...
even with constant bombardment
& that lingering fear & feeling of doom in every new day
& that tug of it's never enough, you can't ever do enough...
...we can still pick our heads up!

+ there's??? do much to say about this change & how excited i am to be closer to my community & even more invested in a city i'm growing to love more and more...
+ but alas! i've only got half a cup of coffee and half an hour before my next appointment to wrap this blog post up!
+ basically -- for the millionth time -- thank you to everyone in my life for your patience with me & my scattered lil brain!
+ moving & getting settled is going to be pretty heavy on the forefront of my brain, but i can't wait to see all the positive change this move brings us~

wonderful fellow artist Luz (@eenchwyrm) & i ventured outside of our home studios here in indiana to have the honor of exploring:
+ what a BLAST !! 
+ the studio alone buzzed with good history & energy -- it's an incredibly hospitable space to work in 
+ we had the pleasure of getting to know a lot of their team of incredible artists & staffers!
+ loved being in a new space with so much personality -- i got lost in creation & conversation...listening and communicating felt fun and approachable despite all the excitement of a new space & new people 
+ there are still so many new things to observe & learn from such a cool team ! 
+ everyone's warm welcome means the world 2 me & it's got me charged up! 
+ michigan in general?? has a vibrancy that felt different than the parts of indiana i normally exist in. maybe it was the lush trees in the high humidity after recent storms...what a respite 
+ ALSO big ups to LUZ -- it was bonkers epic to go on this journey with ya!
